Put used uniforms to good use

Do last year’s school uniforms look like high waters? Don’t turn them into raggedy cutoff shorts just yet.

If your child’s old uniforms are in good shape, you can help a less fortunate child get a fresh look for fall.

Family Service Association kicks off its annual Khakis for Kids uniform drive Tuesday. Through the month of July the association is encouraging donations of new or gently used khaki pants, shorts, skirts and white, collared shirts for distribution to families in need.

“We want to give children who need a little boost a great-looking uniform when the next school year begins,” Nancy Hard, president/chief executive officer for Family Service Association, said in a statement.
